I decided I'd post this here. Basically, I try to make pokemon realistic, and give them a place in the Pokemon world I created in mind. It seemed appropriate to post it here.

"Ditto is a failed experiment. Each Ditto is the product of failed attempts to create a clone of Mew. As such, Ditto is a living emalgamation of unfinished DNA strands of every single Pokemon in existence. After Mewtwo destroyed and fled the labs that created it, thousands of Ditto escaped captivity and began wandering the wilds, eventually making their way to every region. Initially thought harmless and left be, it then became evident they were anything but. Being a blob of uncompleted DNA, it has a sole objective to complete its DNA. It does this by devouring entire populations of Pokemon. After it devours its prey, it temporarily takes the form, habits, and the abilities of the Pokemon it has eaten, and the more of the same Pokemon it eats, the longer this ability lasts. Fortunately, there have not been many cases of any Ditto doing this to anything larger than a Mightyena. However, in 1996, a particularly large Ditto devoured a Charizard and burned down multiple farms before being taken down.

As dangerous as Ditto is, it is also very useful for breeding purposes. A vat containing a chilled Ditto is kept in certain breeding facilities. The seed of another Pokemon is injected into the Ditto, which then proceeds to form an egg like membrane and quickly incubates a new born Pokemon. However, regulations have been put on this practice, due to the abuse of trainers who wish to create an albino (shiny) version of their Pokemon. In one instance, a trainer was arrested for breeding and releasing over 300 Eevee's in attempts to breed an albino. "
